The Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel is a good choice for a Dana Point stay. I’d rate it average to good—nothing flashy, but it gets the job done. The staff are genuinely friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The location is a big plus, just a short walk to the beach. Rooms are comfortable, though they could use a bit of updating. Overall, a reliable spot for a convenient and pleasant visit!
